19" Take Offs
I have got myself some 19" take offs that are as good as new so that I can switch from 20" Pirelli Scorps to 19" Pirelli ATR.
The wheels did have OEM tyres on hem that I have been removed and sold on seperately already.
I am going to give the wheels a clean and wax before getting the dealer to fit them and the ATR's at the same time as they do my upcoming service.
A question for you good people:
The original OEM wheel balancing weights are still stuck to the rims. Whats the consensus should I remove those original weights whilst cleaning and waxing? I'm assuming yes, as surely the new tyres will dictate different weights in different positions.
Or should I leave the weights on and let the fitter make the call?
